The news that Academician Zhao Hongbin had woken up quickly spread throughout the college area and major excavation points like wings. The persons in charge of the major excavation sites rushed over when they heard the news, hoping to see Zhao Hongbin. Although in the past ten years, these people of the Qilin Ship have all been under the leadership of Jiang Jianxue, his prestige is still one level lower than that of Zhao Hongbin. Although Jiang Jianxue has done a good job, he is still not enough to take Zhao Hongbin's place.

Just when the sixth son went to take a bath, Zhao Hongbin finally came out of the ward. Zhao Hongbin, who appeared in front of people at this time, no longer had any negative emotions, just as energetic as he was ten years ago before he hibernated. Sun Li had already prepared the banquet under Jiang Jianxue's arrangement, and all the heads of various departments attended. Ten years have passed, and people who were in their prime are now basically dyed white with their temples. Zhao Hongbin looked at the current appearance of these people who had passed the selection at the Mars base and joined the Kirin ship with high spirits, and his heart was full of emotion. Although exploring space is an adventure and a very risky job, and these people were ready to join back then, no one expected that it would be followed by such a long period of island life, loneliness, loneliness, and despair...... It is already a great miracle that these people have not gone crazy for so many years.

It was said to be a banquet, but the dishes were not very rich. There is a shortage of materials, and Jiang Jianxue will never agree to extravagance. Zhao Hongbin doesn't care about this aspect, he can't eat yet, and his gastrointestinal function has not recovered, purely just to meet these people and understand everyone's current situation.

"I have simply listened to Jianxue, his choice, his approach, and the general direction I agree with, but it is very risky to do so, and it can be said that it is desperate. Since we lost contact with the Mars base, all communication has been cut off, and there is no way to talk about supplies, and now we don't know what the situation of the Mars base is, and we have no helium-3 fuel. With the fuel synthesized on Ceres, I read the report prepared by Jianxue, this new fuel is less than half the efficiency of helium-3 fuel, and our return journey will take longer, which will bring a series of unstable factors, maybe we will all die in an accident on the way back, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

"Teacher, we've thought about all of this." Jiang Jianxue took over and said: "We have no choice now, continue to spend here, the final result is also death, now, we can no longer expect others to save us, we have to save ourselves." ”

Jiang Jianxue's words meant something, Zhao Hongbin naturally heard it, he glanced at the other people present, and no one raised objections, and he understood in an instant. It is estimated that Jiang Jianxue has been promoting this kind of thinking in the past ten years, and a basic consensus has been reached. Now that he is objecting, I am afraid that it will not change the result.

This can't be blamed on them, it's been fifteen years, and there is no news, and no matter how much you trust, you will be disappointed.

"The Kirin is everyone's, and since you don't have any different opinions, then it's decided. Although I woke up, I still need to rest, and the specific affairs are still in charge of Jianxue. I'm old, and I just want to spend the rest of my life summarizing my research and leaving something for future generations, and nothing else matters to me. ”

Everyone present didn't know that Zhao Hongbin only had seven days left to live, and they all thought that the old man just had a sudden feeling, but they didn't know how to comfort him, so they looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

The banquet ended in such a sad atmosphere, Jiang Jianxue sent Zhao Hongbin back to his residence, the old man's residence is still the same as he lived ten years ago, the laboratory covering an area of about 100 square meters, everything is arranged as before, no one has touched it in ten years, occasionally Jiang Jianxue comes to clean up, or consult some information, others are not qualified to come here.

Zhao Hongbin's current body is in the stage of 'returning to the light', which is not much better than that of ordinary young men, and he is not worried about what needs to be taken care of. The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and Jiang Jianxue left. From beginning to end, Zhao Hongbin never mentioned the sixth son, and Jiang Jianxue also wondered in his heart, but the teacher didn't mention it, and he was happy to avoid it, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.

Zhao Hongbin's laboratory was originally the central part of the experimental module of the Kirin ship. Almost all the high-precision experimental equipment of the Kirin is here. In the corner of the laboratory, there is a table about two meters wide, which is the old man's desk, and the manuscripts on the table are the crystallization of his life's wisdom, looking at the entire human world, they are rare treasures.

Jiang Jianxue left, and Zhao Hongbin sat at the desk, in a daze.

Liu Jie hasn't come back for fifteen years, that's a fact. But unlike what Jiang Jianxue thought, Zhao Hongbin didn't think that Liu Jie had betrayed everyone's trust, on the contrary, he felt that Liu Jie was afraid that he had encountered some accidents.

An accident happened in space, and the result did not do what he thought. Thinking of this, Zhao Hongbin couldn't help but burst into tears.

After crying for a while, the old man gradually stopped crying. He turned on the pupil scanner, opened the personal terminal that had not been opened for ten years by scanning the pupils, and after a few operations, the figure of a little boy was projected in front of him. The image changes like a marquee, the little boy is growing up, and the scenery around him is also changing, different people and things, how others treat him, and his situation is presented to the old man like a fast-forward movie.

Zhao Hongbin's laboratory was not only the experimental cabin of the Kirin Ship back then, but also the ultimate control end of all systems of the Kirin Ship, with the highest authority. Although the capacity of the storage is not enough to store all the lives of the six sons in the past ten years, it is easy to store some nodes. Zhao Hongbin didn't ask about the sixth son, because he had already prepared this backhand. Seeing is believing, what happened to Liuzi in the past ten years made him feel even more guilty, and he felt sorry for the man who embarked on the return journey alone fifteen years ago in order to find a way out for the Kirin ship, and the man who gave his life and was misunderstood.

What made him slightly relieved was that the sixth son grew up safely and looked like his father. As for the rest, he wasn't very worried. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, Liu Jie's son, how can it not work.

Zhao Hongbin watched the image of Liuzi several times, and was stunned again, and the operation terminal switched to another interface. He got up and opened the safe behind him and pulled out a silver chip the size of a fingernail. This is not a special thing, just a smart memory, but the one in Zhao Hongbin's hand is made by him with rare media, and the storage capacity is a little larger.

Zhao Hongbin put the chip into the terminal, scanned the pupil authorization, and copied all the important information of the terminal into this chip. He then began to write a program to set a self-destruct countdown, and all classified documents and research materials in the Kirin's storage would be destroyed after his death. And the information on this chip will be the only backup.

After doing all this, Zhao Hongbin took out the chip and put it close to him, got up and came to the window, and activated the radio telescope in the laboratory.

The vast starry sky surrounded him at 360 degrees, but the direction of the earth was still indistinct. Since landing on Ceres fifteen years ago, telescopes have been unable to image anything beyond the asteroid belt. The reason for this is that the information collector of the Kirin ship is damaged, so it is impossible to determine.

"I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people who come after, I think of the world and the world, and I cry alone......"

The old man muttered, and for some reason he suddenly remembered the verses that his tutor had read when he first entered the astronomy department of the university. Thinking of the blue planet, the old man's tears flowed out again.

Humans who have touched the red line of the law are really unable to survive?
